Help Lost Family Find Way at Purgatory

July 19, 2011 — At 2:25 p.m. a cell phone call was received by the
MassachusettsStatePoliceCommunicationsCenter from a woman in the PurgatoryChasmForest in Sutton. She stated that she and
her 4 grandchildren, ranging in ages from 7-14 years, were lost. She
also said she could hear the cars from a highway but could not see them.
A command post was established along Route 146 in Sutton as Troopers
from the Millbury Barracks took up strategic locations along the fence
line that separates the forest from the highway.

By
utilizing the cruiser sirens, Troopers were able to direct the family to
safety. While Troopers awaited fence cutting tools, one of the four
children collapsed. Troopers scaled the fence and provided first aid. In
the interim, the grandmother also collapsed. First aid was provided to
her and care of all parties was turned over to responding EMT’s. All
five were transported to the
U Mass Hospital Lake Street in Worcester and treated for dehydration and
abrasions. File photo.

HOPKINTON,
Mass., July 18, 2011 -- The Starter, a bronze sculpture by
Hopkinton artist Michael Alfano may memorialize the firing of the
starter's pistol in Hopkinton for the world-renown BAA Boston Marathon,
but Hopkinton's own Kevin Hrusovsky, President and CEO of Caliper Life
Sciences (NASDAQ: CALP), will start what could be a marathon day
of trading tomorrow when he rings the opening bell of the NASDAQ Stock
Market at 9:00 am. He wil be joined by family, management and several
strategic customers to participate in this special event. This event
highlights Caliper’s successful transformation into a leading
diversified life sciences tools company.

and treatment by developing market-leading tools and services for
pre-clinical and clinical imaging, digital pathology, sample preparation

cell research, as well as the development of biotherapeutics and
vaccines.

It further states that over the past seven years, Caliper has grown core
products and services, increased margins and become operating cash flow
positive by completing several strategic acquisitions and divesting
non-core product lines. Caliper reported organic revenue growth of over
20% in the first quarter of 2011. The market has rewarded Caliper’s
success with an increase in its stock price during each of 2009 and 2010
of over 150%, and an approximate 30% increase year-to-date in 2011.

dedicated support in building Caliper into a successful high growth
company with strong potential for making life changing impact in health
care. Their hard work and inspiring ‘can do’ attitudes have enabled
Caliper to become a diversified, high growth tools provider with

greater, with incremental revenues contributing at least 60% of revenue
to operating margin.”
